30 Mar 05 - 05:34 PM (#1447217) Subject: RE: BS: Anti-social behavior From: frogprince You lost me on one single point, El Greko; I find it very easy to think of possible instances of censorship as anti-social behaviour; censorship can be directed against worthless cultural garbage, or censorship can be the suppression of essential facts or ideas that threaten the powers that be. |

30 Mar 05 - 05:35 PM (#1447218) Subject: RE: BS: Anti-social behavior From: Once Famous Not really. You got some right, but others are definately anti-social in my book. you see, this is the double standard here. All of these anti-social things happen daily here, but slide through as Ha Ha. Once was a time the Office of the President was respected because that person was elected by a majority of voters. Not any longer. Using illegal drugs will get you a fine and prison time or both. Seems to me that is anti-social behavior. ridiculing of Jews and Christians is a daily practice here. This is quite anti-social. Ridiculing and censoring people who don't have the same political thoughts and tell people so with impact just hear what they want to hear which makes them, in my book, anti-social. Easy Martin? Censoring me is not easy. |

30 Mar 05 - 06:01 PM (#1447266) Subject: RE: BS: Anti-social behavior From: Chris Green Isn't defending Marxism in america Anti-social behavior? Only to paranoid rednecks. Isn't ridiculing Jews anti-social behavior? Not if you're Woody Allen. It's a living. Isn't ridiculing religion anti-social behavior? Hmmm, the idea of God with no sense of humour has never really held water for me. After all, He created things like the duck-billed platypus, the star-nosed mole and willies to name but a few. Surely he can take a joke too. Isn't sponging off the government anti-social behavior? Depends on how you mean. If you're able to work and are turning down offers of work left right and centre, yes. If you can't work, it seems preferable to starving. Oh and incidentally government funds are public funds. Yes, that's right. Public. To be spent (in an ideal world) for the publics benefit. Isn't spreading AIDS through homosexual contact anti-social behavior? Where contraception is available, yes. EG already made the point about heterosexually transmitted HIV being wrong. Isn't ridiculing people with faith anti-social behavior? A personal attack on someone who holds religious beliefs is wrong. So is forcing your beliefs down other people's throats and resorting to investive and threats when they object. Cuts both ways, in other words. Isn't censorship itself anti-social behavior? Actually I tend to agree with you on this one. But then again, anti-social behaviour breeds anti-social behaviour, y'know. Isn't not showing respect for a president anti-social behavior? I was always taught respect was something you earn. The gibbering cretin currently occupying the Whitehouse has done precisely fuck all to earn anyone's respect. I could pursue this, but pick up a newspaper and turn to the international pages. It'll save time. Isn't using drugs and boasting about it anti-social behavior? No. Merely tedious and anyway who says you have to listen? Isn't getting drunk and boasting about it anti-social behavior? See above. Isn't being a lying Mudcat Clone anti-social behavior? Yes. Remove the telling word 'lying' though and no, it isn't. Just my two ha'porth! |

Yeah, I took Martin's test and maybe got a D... or worse... Who cares? It's all definations and semantics... I mean Martin can talk about "welfare" and in Martin's world that means black women driving up to the Social Service Departrment in their Cadillac to pick up a fat check for pumping out babies once like factories... Yeah that is Martin's world. In Bobert's world it's Boss Hog and the corporate fat cats who are ripping off the middle class... And in Martin's world when he thinks of Jew hating that means anyone who would like the Palestians getting a fair break... But in Martin's world all he see's if the Palestian suicide bombers but not Isreali tanks and bulldozers crashing thru homes of Palestianians to make way for more Isrealu settlements... As fir Marxism being anti-social? No, it is very much social becasue it empowers the 98% of the folks who ain't on Boss Hog's Xmas card list... Now, lastly, as this thread was started by Mar-fu*k-you-tin his Mar-fu*k-you-tin-self I'd just say this.... ...I rest my case. Bobert |

That would make supporting neither one of them "antisocial". A society that is all one...or all the other...is kind of like a society that's all male or all female. It doesn't work all that well in practice. I am living in a society that practices both socialism and capitalism, and it's really quite nice. |

30 Mar 05 - 10:40 PM (#1447498) Subject: RE: BS: Anti-social behavior From: Boab I think the main problem here is one which seems to be prevalent in the USA in particular. And I mean prevalent among REASONABLE people as well as the mindless shit-throwers. In the USA, I have noted, the majority of the folks don't seem to have the vaguest clue what it means to be "socialist". They are conditioned not only to spit venom at the mention of "Socialist", but also "Marxist" and "Communist". In ANY creed there is scope for those miscreants who would manipulate the current laws in furtherance of their own agendas. Nobody in North America, surely, has missed the recent spate of actions against just such skulduggery---and not furth of the borders of the USA! And those actions were made necessary because of some who saw a self-enhancing opportunity in the jungles of hardly-fettered capitalism. I never have been a political animal. And reading "between lines", I see like-minded contributers to this site. My role in civic society is guided by what I see as the MORALLy correct path. At least as much as the fair share of human frailties I'm 'cumbered with will allow. If someone points a finger and cries "socialist"!, then so be it. I have never been a member of any other party other than the Nationalist Party in my own Country, and that embraces all political colours. If I see a human being in distress---even as a result of his own inadequacies---I hope I will always have the grace to stop, and try to help. I shall be rewarded by the improvement in their fortunes, or saddened by my own failure. But I will have a clear conscience. Is this "socialism", Martin? |

"What you believe in" has nothing to do with why your messages have been deleted - it's how you present your point of view. You do it in an intimidating, crude, combative manner. Sorry, but that's not acceptable. You've done better today, though. I deleted far fewer messages than yesterday. Still, you have your strange obsession with tampons, and I really can't let you go and tell some woman to get laid. There's no reason to attack peoples' sex lives, their disabilities or physical appearance, their spouses or children. None of that has anything to do with defending what you believe in. -Joe- |

30 Mar 05 - 11:55 PM (#1447528) Subject: RE: BS: Anti-social behavior From: Bill D it's a funny situation...the greater the number of people who disagree with Martin, his attitude and his style, the more combative he gets. It's almost as if he equates all these negative posts with persecution of Jews in general. I wish I knew...(and I wish HE knew!) To Martin: You arrived here as a 'guest', making crude remarks and insulting people from the beginning, and after you 'joined', you just got worse. What you do is different in kind and different in degree than others who sometimes push the envelope in their remarks, and THEY have been edited and/or deleted at times. It is amazing to me that you have been given as much slack as you have. I do not know why anyone feels the need to make the remarks you have usually, with little or no provocation. You know enough about music and other stuff, (even hot dog styles), to be a useful, but opinionated member, but you persist in seeing if you can set new records for being offensive. I guess you managed, and you are seeing what happens when you act up on someone else's turf, no matter HOW righteous you feel. Not much else to say... to everyone else...ESPECIALLY anonymous guests who seem to delight in responding to Martin: You are not helping by giving him ammunition for more remarks. Some of the responses TO Martin are ripe for censorship themselves! Give it a rest and let him dig himself in deeper, if that's what he's bound to do! I sure wish I knew how to get EVERYONE to see what this all looks like and just play nicely together, but the Age of the Internet has done strange things to our ways of relating, hmmm? |

31 Mar 05 - 12:31 AM (#1447540) Subject: RE: BS: Anti-social behavior From: LadyJean Working my way down the list, I have to say it depends on how you do it. Making fun of Jews can be anti social, if you're a Nazi. Or a full time career if you're Jerry Seinfeld. Showing disrespect to the president can be anti social behavior if you're Lee Harvey Oswald, or a full time career, if you're any number of stand up comics. Defending Marxism is an act of heroism if you're an ACLU lawyer, and a dirty deed if you are Lee Harvey Oswald. Now I had a roommate at O.U. who was a serious drug user. Her behavior was annoying, sometimes seriously worrying. She was a world class pain in the derriere. But I would not call her behavior anti social. Sometimes it was entirely too social. Saturday and Sunday mornings I used to hone my detective skills helping to figure out where she'd been and what she'd done the night before. When she wasn't sober she wasn't picky about who she went to bed with, and she didn't always remember the next day. In 1993 I broke my arm very badly. I was uninsured at the time, and wound up owing Shadyside Hospital $17000. I didn't have it. I didn't have any way of getting it. My sister deliberately put off settling our mother's estate until after the bill was settled. So I applied to the state for medical assistance, and got it. I don't have it now. But at the time, it settled a whopper of a debt, and got that *&^%!!! collection agency out of my life. I also have the use of my left arm, which makes it easier for me to earn my living. So I can't say I was sponging. |

You get your back up at the slightest indication that somebody doesn't agree with your point of view. Most of us here all agree that you, and every other damn person with a mind that's capable of forming a viewpoint, are entitled to it. But you, who supposedly upholds that same principle, damn sure have a shitty way of showing it. Do you agree with Dubya, going around the country, spouting off about his Social Security plan, and attempting to bring pressure to bear by implying that anyone (in Congress) who doesn't support his plan will face political consequences? He may as well be saying, "You better agree with me, or else." I damn sure don't respect that. I suppose you think that the Democratic members of Congress are all anti-social, unless they cow-tow to that sawed off prick. If you are anything in real life like you present yourself to be in this forum, then you certainly are anti-social, but that's just my opinion. SND |

It would be truly fascinating to see just how many of his wonderful contributions the courageous iconoclast (look it up, "Martin")---( in his own mind)-- behind "Martin Gibson" would make if he had to sign his own name to them. Who knows, we might be lucky--he'd stop the vile postings---- (see Carol C's post of 30 Mar 2005 9:45 PM, a great summary of his MO)---and content himself with the disgusting ones. That would be progress. Anonymity can be, as it is for some, a shelter from a possibly cruel and even dangerous world. Or it can be a screen to hide behind and hurl vicious and revolting remarks at passersby, secure in the knowledge--until the advent yesterday of the "bleep regime" --that the poster will never have to take any responsibility for anything he says. No question where "Martin" fits in here. One thing however-- there is no doubt that "Martin" is synonomous with "common snese" (sic)---(see his own comments on Proud Citizen thread). |

A pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others occurring since the age of 15 years as indicated by at least three of: 1. failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviours as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest; 2. deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure; 3. impulsivity or failure to plan ahead; 4. irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults; 5. reckless disregard for the safety of self or others; 6. consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behaviour or honour financial obligations; 7. lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalising having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another. B. The individual is at least 18 years of age. C. There is evidence of Conduct Disorder with onset before age 15 years. D. The occurrence of antisocial behaviour is not exclusively during the course of Schizophrenia or a Manic Episode. |

It begins to look doubtful that he will. The only thing he has proven so far is that, rather than being the gibbering idiot portrayed often on Mudcat, he is in fact a brilliant demogogue, in the grand tradition of one in Germany in the 20's and 30's--perhaps you've heard of him, "Martin"?--along the lines of "The US is crawling with terrorists and homosexuals--and be sure to watch out for those homosexual terrorists". Perhaps closer to home, a role model could have been Father Coughlin--not Huey Long--Huey actually had some good ideas, and was a real complex character. Sorry for the thread creep. |
